Chapter 233 Jiang Huai Offline
Chapter 233 Jiang Huai Offline
Jiang Wanqiu told Liu these things because she thought Jiang Xinyu would do the same thing based on her own experience.
Secondly, it was also to add fuel to the fire and force Liu to make a choice.
My parents had a very good relationship in my previous life.
Although her mother harbored resentment towards her father in this life because he had changed, it wasn't enough.
Jiang Wanqiu wasn't in a hurry. She first instilled this idea in Liu Shi, and she had other plans.
Having served as the Duchess of the State for decades, she could easily manipulate a Liu woman.
While Jiang Xinyu was enjoying a carefree and harmonious time with her family in the Hou Mansion, changes were quietly taking place inside the Jiang family's residence.
Jiang Wanqiu looked down on the unintelligent servants around her and decided to do many things herself.
It was indeed troublesome, but it also minimized the possibility of being exposed.
A contract of servitude cannot control a slave in the face of absolute power.
Jiang Wanqiu, who is well-versed in the rules of high society, would not make such a basic mistake.
She lost the aura of being a duchess, as well as wealth and power, but decades of knowledge and experience are something no one can steal from her.
Jiang Wanqiu took over the family kitchen and adjusted the menu under the guise of learning housekeeping.
The mother and daughter's meals remained the same, while the food at Jiang Huai's and several concubines' places seemed to have improved.
However, Jiang Huai's temper grew increasingly worse, and his concubines became more and more arrogant, causing Liu to suffer a lot of grievances, both openly and secretly.
Whenever her mother cried to her about how she couldn't make ends meet, Jiang Wanqiu would gently comfort her.
Unfortunately, the more they tried to persuade him, the more they fueled the fire, subtly instilling in the Liu family the belief that as long as the Jianghuai region remained inhabited, their homes would be in turmoil.
It's true what they say, when you're sleepy, someone will bring you a pillow.
I don't know which fool was so blind to the situation that they sent a Yangzhou beauty to Jianghuai.
This guy treats his new pet like it's his precious treasure, squandering his already meager savings on gifts and presents.
Liu was so angry with him that she fell ill and stopped caring about anything, leaving Jiang Wanqiu with no choice but to take charge of the household.
The maids thought the second young lady would clash with that skinny girl, but Jiang Wanqiu was surprisingly good-tempered, and even Jiang Huai praised her for being sensible.
Unfortunately, the young woman only enjoyed herself for a little over ten days. Suddenly, a scream rang out in the night, and Jiang Huai immediately went mad and died on her bed.
Jiang Wanqiu suppressed the cold laugh in her heart and put on a sorrowful expression. She ordered her men to tie up the skinny horse and immediately sent someone to the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion to report the news.
Their eldest son-in-law is the head of the Eastern Depot; what if they blame them if they don't investigate?
Besides, this father doesn't belong to just a few of them; Jiang Xinyu will have to come back to pay her respects eventually.
Also, hurry up and go to Songdi Academy so that Xin Quan'er doesn't have to go to the Imperial Academy.
The three-year mourning period is a three-year buffer period.
Not only will no one mention her marriage to Jiang Song, but she can also take the opportunity to train Jiang Quan and make him more ambitious.
Most importantly, without Jiang Huai as the executor, it wouldn't be so easy for Jiang Xinyu, a married woman, to interfere in her family's affairs.
By keeping to herself and observe mourning behind closed doors, she could more easily plan her future.
Even if the Great Jin Dynasty is completely controlled by Xiao Yuan's mobile phone, so what? There are still the Quanrong and the Northern Yi outside of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Jiang Xinyu's rebirth only changed the ruling class and the court structure of the Great Jin Dynasty, but natural disasters and man-made calamities were beyond her control.
The Quanrong also suffered a disaster this year, and in a few months when winter arrives, the Quanrong delegation will come to the Great Jin to ask for food.
If it's the Second Prince again this time, she'll have a lot of room to maneuver.
With the Northern Barbarians eyeing them covetously, the Great Jin dared not easily start a war with the Quanrong, and would most likely give them some food to appease them.
The second prince of Quanrong was extremely lecherous. In his previous life, when he came to the Great Jin Dynasty, he forcibly took the young mistress of Minister Sun's family after a public banquet.
At that time, the third prince had just ascended the throne, and to avoid any unforeseen complications, the Sun family swallowed their anger.
They only reported his death as an illness and then allowed the Quanrong to take him away.
The woman bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Xinyu; both were strikingly beautiful and alluring.
Zhao Zhenzhen told her that she wasn't qualified to attend the banquet, saying that if Jiang Xinyu hadn't been pregnant and been robbed, she might have been the one to be robbed.
After all, Jiang Xinyu was quite attractive; the Second Prince of Quanrong glanced at her several times at the banquet.
Now that Jiang Xinyu has married a eunuch, she has no chance to have children. I believe that the second prince of Quanrong must know how to choose.
She wanted to see if this all-powerful Marquis of Zhenguo would risk everything for a woman.
If Jiang Xinyu's actions were to cause hostility between the two countries, then she would be a sinner and a femme fatale in the Great Jin Dynasty.
If she obediently followed the Quanrong people, those brutes on the grasslands would naturally make up for the days she spent living as a widow after marrying a eunuch.
The women there, like cattle and sheep, are considered the property of men.
Beautiful women, in particular, can not only be inherited by a man's sons and brothers, but also given as gifts to each other.
That vile woman ruined my inheritance and wealth; I might as well go to the harsh grasslands and become a military prostitute.
Once this scourge is eradicated, her family will gradually improve, and with Songdi's talent, he will soon be able to take the imperial examination and enter officialdom.
All her bad reputation is because of Jiang Xinyu. Once that woman's reputation is ruined, she can naturally clear her name.
She holds the secrets of gossip and current events for decades to come; with proper planning, it wouldn't be difficult for her to return to high society.
For example, on the third day of the sixth lunar month a year later, the old princess of the Yu family would suddenly fall ill with a heart condition while offering incense at Fahua Temple.
On September 17th, during General Wei's birthday banquet, his grandson will accidentally fall into the water.
Furthermore, Zhao Shangshu's daughter did not die of illness, but instead became pregnant and eloped with someone.
The son of Lord Wang is a congenital eunuch and unable to have sexual relations, yet he wants to trick the Bai family into a marriage of convenience.
The youngest son of the Duke of Xu was an illegitimate child born from an affair between his concubine and his eldest son.
These events, which were nothing more than gossip in his previous life, are now opportunities and leverage for Jiang Wanqiu.
If she can make good use of these premonitions, she can quickly break into the circle of wealthy women even without enough domestic chores.
She could become the princess's adopted daughter and the general's savior, but her youth was delayed by mourning. She could easily find a good marriage for herself.
It wasn't that she didn't want to stay and protect Chengye; it was that she couldn't bear the thought of her several well-behaved children from her previous life not being born.
When Liu heard that Jiang Huai had died in this way, she was so angry that she fainted from crying and simply stopped caring about anything else.
Jiang Wanqiu took the opportunity to clear her name, and no one could find any clues after investigating.
Zhen Guohou Mansion.
Jiang Xinyu is still awake; she and Xiao Yuan just went through a "movement" that couldn't pass censorship.
Upon hearing that Jiang Huai had died of a stroke while riding a horse, she instinctively looked at Xiao Yuan.
"Do you think Ma Feng died from exhaustion or from a heart attack caused by excessive excitement?"
Xiao Yuan was speechless. "Madam, your father is dead. Are you sure you want to discuss this now?"
"So what if I die? It's not a big deal. If someone hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that I even have a father."
Jiang Xinyu casually shouted towards the door, "Go find the young master and He Zhang and have them take some people over there. If they ask, just say I cried myself unconscious."
By the way, check carefully.
If you're unsure, have the old man dissect it; don't wrongly accuse that skinny horse.
Little Bean almost tripped over hearing this inhuman speech; this lady was becoming less and less able to speak like a human being.
Fearing to wrongly accuse a skinny man, he would rather dissect his own father. If these words were said to Jiang Huai, they might just make him angry enough to come back to life.
Jiang Xinyu dismissed someone, pressed Xiao Yuan down, and brought her face close to his private parts, even poking him with her hand.
"You still haven't answered me. Does going crazy mean you'll die from exhaustion?"
"Is this not cyanosis? Won't it cause heart palpitations if it flows too much?"
Xiao Yuan blushed completely, feeling the breeze blowing into his private area as the lady spoke.
That wretched spot "cried" tears again.
He couldn't stand it anymore; if he didn't do something, his wife would probably investigate him thoroughly.
